Beware the Chinese
 
The Chinese cars, that is.

The Brilliance BS6, which is now coming to Europe, was recently crash tested by Germany's ADAC, for the Euro-NCAP programme. It barely received one star...

Last year, the SUV known as the Landwind was also crash tested, as the first Chinese car introduced to the European market. This car, which is a license copy of the Isuzu Amigo or Opel Frontera, is literally a death trap.

won't take them long to copy the european/japanese stuff though, it was the same with the japanese cars when they first came to the european market.. everyone laughed at them and now toyota is the biggest car manufacturer in the world..

looking at the pic again, i think the sunroof is a big part of it's lack of structural safety.

I was thinking of that myself, but I doubt that a solid roof would keep the steering wheel from crushing the driver's forehead :eek:
